11 Mile and Spinney Lakes

11 Mile and Spinney Lakes

11 Mile and Spinney Lakes are part of the Colorado State Park system. Today friends and I went up for the day. Despite the wind we had a great time. But take my advice pack your fishing gear and a cooler, wind breakers and coats. Camera definitely recommended. This is the stuff Colorado is made of.

Location - South Park Colorado between highways 24 and 9. Nearest town is Lake George 1 mile\ Approx ½ hour - 45 minutes from Colorado Springs & Canon City.

Size - 3400 acre feet with white caps in the wind.

Dena, Did you catch anything?

Just the wind. We tried and tried but the wind was an impossible force. No hiding the fact a front was coming in. And there is always next time!

When I saw the clouds & coats I thought that may have been today, as I missed the word "today" the first time I read it through.  What a difference a few hours makes in Colorado.

Dena - How beautiful! the water, clound and mountain looked so inviting I was wishing I was there.

Sign me up, Dena.  That lake is georgous!  What a view, even with the clouds.  I'm wondering if you are a closet fly fisherwoman.

Dean, Your photos are beautiful!  Sorry to hear you didn't catch anything but it looks like everyone was having a wonderful time anyway.

Hi Dena,  the pictures turned out great.  I just don't understand why anyone needed a jacket.  I was comfortable in my t-shirt and I'm just arrived from Florida.  The scenery and abundance of wildlife makes me want to stay forever.  Why didn't I move here 20 years ago?
